Ortuño's Upcoming Competitions at the Grand Prix in Rabat
On Thursday, April 23, 2026, at 8:30 a.m., Ortuño will kick off her competitions with the shot put event. The following day, Friday, April 24, she will participate in the javelin throw starting at 2:30 p.m. Finally, on Saturday, April 25, she will wrap up her events with the discus throw scheduled for 10:40 a.m., all times reflecting Costa Rica's time zone. This series of competitions marks a significant milestone in Ortuño's athletic career, providing her with a critical platform to assess her performance and adjust her competitive strategy as she continues her journey toward the Los Angeles 2028 Paralympic Games.
A Competitive Arena for Elite Athletes
The Grand Prix in Rabat, Morocco, represents a prestigious gathering of elite para-athletes from around the globe, presenting both an exceptional challenge and an invaluable competitive environment. For Ortuño, who has previously claimed the title of world champion in Adapted CrossFit six times, this event serves as an important opportunity to showcase her skills and resilience, especially as she navigates through her current medical treatment, which has hindered her qualification for this year's World Championship.
As part of their preparation, the national team is currently in Madrid, Spain, undergoing an acclimatization period to adjust to the time zone changes. They are set to depart for Morocco on Wednesday, where they will face top-tier competitors in a high-stakes athletic setting.
